Need advice on trading my entire vintage card collection

Mark, since they are complete sets you might consider consigning them to someone like Greg Morris Cards on Ebay. He typically gets top dollar for set breaks and it might be a lot easier simply purchasing a card like a 52 Mantle as opposed to negotiating a trade for one.

I agree with this gentleman 100%....plus take your time buying a super nice key card. No need to rush.

Adam— really like the Connors card. Great athlete. Remember reading about him discussing Branch Rickey, saying Mr Rickey had money and he had ballplayers, and did not like them being comingled

I ponder much the same issues every day: Wondering what the best course would be to follow in disposing of the collection. The thought that usually wins out is assuming that I will be able to control the disposition somehow after my demise and hoping that in the spirit realm I will no longer suffer from the obsessive need to hoard stuff.
Al - if I were a ballplayer, I think I would very much dislike owners and executives comingling with the money paid by fans to see me play.

Interesting reading, as I ponder my continued failed efforts to be any type of set collector. This is bad timing, as officially I am back in the mode of going after a few ('67 Topps has been this year's theme) right now - but if I'm being candid - we'll see how long that lasts.

I'm 41, and besides my volumuous boxes of wax junk-era crap from my childhood that I can't bear to get rid of, the bulk of my collection that I really care about lives on one shelf in my closet. These are stacks of toploaders and a dozen or so more expensive graded vintage cards that I'm really into. I have 2 daughters (currently 12 and 8...) and besides having succesfully made them both into Chicago Cubs fans, I doubt they will ever seriously be interested in baseball cards. These posts make a good case to stick with a smaller collection of the few things that you are really into, and while I don't think of myself as "old" yet...things are certainly not going in the other direction.

John, we could be brothers in every respect....except the Cub part.
